    Incredible from the moment I stepped in the door. I was warmly greeted immediately by the host, who took our jackets and then seated us in the beautiful dining area. The tables are nestled closely together, but I never felt crowded or intrusive. Our server Madie, was the definition of hospitality. She knew the fine details, and paired my entree and wine seamlessly! My son asked me if we were VIP because of their team work and how many people were involved with our meal! Our glasses were never in empty. Our wine was delivered by Susan, who even replaced my son’s dirty napkin and took the time to explain the tasting notes of my wine, while also entertaining the children! She was so sweet!! We ended dinner with the most amazing caramelized banana split, while the manager, Peyton stopped by to thank us for dining and invited us to explore the Gallery space. He was professional, genuine and friendly. This spot is a MUST for family dining, date night, fancy dinner, and all your instagram photos 😉. Thank you RH for making my family night special.

    Not sure where you could get a better value for your dining dollar than at Borage. The food is fantastic, the portions are huge, and the service is great. Go there on a Thursday, order the chicken dinner, and tell me I'm wrong. What a fantastic addition to the dining options in Speedway.

    We had ribeye and Alaskan king crab meat. So good! We got married here 7 years ago and love coming back on our anniversary. Wonderful place to get married. I’d choose getting married here every time! The only thing that I have negative to say is that it’s very loud and hard to talk. If you want a quiet dining experience I’d say pass. The energy is great tho!

    First time guests and will definitely be returning. We had an awesome experience! My husband and I came here for our anniversary dinner. Food and drink came a little slowly but otherwise we had a great time and our server was great. She was very sweet and personable and made us feel very welcomed. The food was fantastic. I finished my plate and that never happens for me! The drinks were also great. The value for your buck is definitely worth it.
